Hello Sergio,
I'm pretty sure that this is a Downy Emerald :)
A decent shot of this truly iridescent dragonfly.
+++ I like the diagonal composition and the POV is very good.
Nice natural lighting that brings out the iridescent green on this beautiful dragonfly's body.
The DOF is good and blurs the BG nicely.
--- Lacks a bit of sharpness and detail but I think any software could sharpen it up and bring out some more of the details :)
Nevertheless, this is a great capture.
Well done,
Joe

Ciao Sergio,

Complimenti per la bella inquadratura,

Hi Sergio,
it's a beautiful dragon,
now I can see that it is different from the Emerald-dragon which I posted - also made in Italy. But mine has yellow parts on the tail.
Thanks for yours, bye
